JDA Aqua Cutting, Inc. - A precision CNC Water jet / Abrasive jet machine shop with secondary CNC machining capabilities. Through the technology of CNC machining, both milling and turning with CAD / CAM design and manufacturing, JDA can guarantee high quality. Located in New Lenox, a southwest suburb of Chicago, IL near Joliet, IL JDA provides customers with over 30 years of experience in the manufacturing machining, and engineering. At JDA, the primary goal is to satisfy the customer with high quality, low cost, and a quick turn around time.
The Waterjet is an amazing in how the simple concept of erosion is corralled and controlled to cut intricate parts with extreme accuracy. In 1996 JDA was the first machine job shop in Chicago to have a Waterjet for non-product specific work. Having to prove the technology to the machining world and the midwest, JDA strived to do the best job they could and virtually perfect the art of water jetting. In utilizing many natural resources, the Waterjet takes highly filtered water, pushes it through a hydraulic intensifier, the water mixes with a emerald abrasive, passes through the cutting head to provide a precise cut. JDA has cut stainless steel for NASA that was 8" thick to paper books for an art exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Since the first Static hole was put in a ferrous piece of material in the mid-70's at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) the technology of Waterjet cutting has become the fastest machine tool in the industry. Below JDA will help explain some of the benefits and how JDA and the Waterjet can help provide you with what you are looking for.
Versatile - Waterjet / Abrasivejet can virtually cut any material in any shape
Powerful - capable of cutting 8" Stainless Steel and and other hard to machine material
Accurate - Finished parts to an accuracy of + or - .005" and repeated.
Non Heat Affected Edges - Less burnt edges, warping, increased cutting life in secondary operations, no grinding or heavy burring
Flexibility - Two-dimensional shapes are programmed in our CAD / CAM System from either a blue print, sketch, DWG or DXF File.
Fast - Rapid set up time, reduced fixturring on bars, sheets and plates. Ability to reduce secondary operations with the ability get get a similar cut comparable to a 125 Micro Finish.
- Mechanical Parts
- Architectural work
- High Production Runs
- Low Production / Proto-type Runs

What can JDA do for you? - For custom, prototype work or low production runs, JDA has low lead times which will help provide a quick turn around for first runs or to help get your product to the market as quick as possible. Our water jet service can “Rough Out” or “Blank” parts leaving material for secondary operations which will save time and money for your processing of the finished product. Water jet cutting will not produce a heat induced “stressed” or work hardened parts as produced by laser or plasma, which will be more difficult to machine. This process will help produce higher quality at less cost for you and your customers. JDA Has the ability to save you more money by "nesting" your parts on sheets / plates to get the best material yield as possible. JDA has a complete machine shop to produce parts that require secondary operations to supply a complete part if you are not able.
Sign Letters and Floor Logos - JDA can cut many different fonts in many different materials helping you manufacture and distribute sign letters, plastic letters, and metal letters.
